Where there is no faltering is in Greece, where the people is basically living in the streets these days, while the government, which has lost all legitimacy in few months, has signed a sell-off pact with the Capitalist International (EU, IMF). It is unclear whether this sell-off will pass the vote in Parliament: the ruling PASOK has a narrow majority and there is a real risk that some of their members will vote against the pact, forcing anticipated elections and probably plain bankruptcy.

In the current circumstances elections may well mean that the Left (three different parties at the left of the PASOK) would take over Parliament. It is unlikely that the Right, widely perceived as the main culprit and a nest of corruption, can benefit from this situation.
